local.seafdecaqd.extractEnvironmental group Haribon Foundation expressed concern over the threats to the marine life caused by the runoff sediments from mining sites in Surigao del Sur. On the second day of the four-day “Partners’ Forum: People and the Sea” at the Ritz Hotel at Garden Oases on Tuesday, Gregorio E. de la Rosa Jr., conservation science and research manager at the Haribon Foundation, said in an interview that the sediments from the mining sites are washed away during heavy downpour, ending up in the shores and protected mangrove sites in Lanuza Bay. If not abated, Dela Rosa said the contamination will destroy the marine habitats such as coral reefs and sea grass adversely affecting the spawning grounds of fish in Surigao del Sur and other provinces.en
